There Once Was A Man From…oh whatever

As I sit here on my terrace enjoying a perfect dusk with a cold beer, I find it hard to muster up the same frustration I felt during the working week and summarize the events that annoyed the crap out of me. In fact, it was a pretty good week even though my colleagues piss me off to no end (ok, it’s one guy). That’s why I’m going the easy route: the week in review, in poem format. Besides, I’m heading out with a friend and don’t have time for a long post. So here you go:

5 days, 3 limericks, 2 haiku’s.

I have this new colleague to train
Who I think has a very small brain
But I’m still to be trainin’ him
It is vacant, his cranium
He is going to make me insane!

My boss does not have a clue!
Her voice sounds like a kazoo!
She axed my vacation!
She should be on probation!
And I’m still getting over the flu!

My clients are great!
But they are so demanding!
I do circus tricks!

We have procedures!
More than you can imagine!
Who came up with these?

My colleague smells worse than sasquatch
His shirt has this 3 day old blotch
He talks for attention
It should go without mention
That he needs a good punch in the crotch!

Phew! That was hard work (not). I’m going to have another beer.

Dang Dude! Does Canada already have a First Poet Guy? I'm submitting your name if not. Have you ever heard of Augden Nash? He was a poet and I think he influenced me, and maybe even you. That poem is about the best thing I've read in a while. Sort of, know what I mean? Have a great long weekend if you get one in Canada and I hope that guy washes his shirt over the 3 days off.

Your limericks make me very sad. And I only like the third line of each haiku.

Sorry to hear about the colleague with the small brain. But hey, at least you can write poems about him, that should make it all better, right? No? Crap.

Thanks Linda! We actually don’t get a long weekend, but I unofficially got one since I get monday off as a ‘thank you’ for being on call for most of the weekend.

Yeah, unwashed colleagues are a little tough to deal with. Especially since we see them for almost 1/3 of the week!

This is an easy post? In poems? Cripes. I can't even write one in regular verse.

Sorry about the smelly coworker. I used to have one of those. She smelled like dog. And then she'd run her heater under her desk, so then our office smelled like baked dog.

There is no way I could toss any of these out on a whim. You have talent, Mike.

Ewww! I can only imagine that's like having the car air on when my son is wearing sandals.

I have to give credit to beer
But that also makes things quite unclear
Still, thanks for the kudo
It's like mental Judo
You just need to rhyme with your ear

Thanks Kathy, I always found them to be fun exercises

Baked dog sounds awful. I guess you eventually get used to the smell. The other thing my colleague has going for him is his incessant yammering, which I do not get used to.

Really? I thought the rich center was the best part.

Too funny, my second to last post was all about Haiku – so of COURSE I loved yours!

Awesome. On my way to check it out!

Love the poems but could do without the brainless and smelly. Here's hoping for a better week or more beer!

I couldn't come up with a Rhyme like that even if my life depended on it!
